I suspect there is a correct way and the following isn't it - but it works:

1. link the port to your pilot
    sudo ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/pilot
2. Set the permission
    sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0
3. Set the sync location to /dev/pilot in your application (e.g. JPilot)

The above assumes your serial port is at ttyS0(that's a zero).   Could be
ttyS1, etc. - try it.  Note: I sync with JPilot.

good luck
